About Me

Diego Della Valle took the small shoe factory his grandfather started and turned it into global shoe- and purse-maker Tod's S.p.A. Della Valle, who is chairman, and his brother Andrea together own the majority of the company. In 2024, the brothers teamed up with private equity firm L Catterton and LVMH to take Tod's private at a $1.5 billion valuation. The brothers also hold stakes in Italian scooter-maker Piaggio and multimedia conglomerate RCS MediaGroup. The brothers owned Florence-based soccer team AC Fiorentina from 2002 to 2019, when they sold it to fellow billionaire Rocco Commisso. He cofounded Italy's first private rail operator, Ntv-Italo, in 2006 and sold it 12 years later to an American investment firm for $2.2 billion.
